Cantonese "lazy pronunciation" gets another round

This may sound a bit familiar, but...

Brian Diep (undergrad), Justin Leung (PhD student) and Naomi Nagy (faculty) are presenting about variation in heritage and homeland Cantonese at another conference this weekend: 

第五屆粵語語言學論壇 The Fifth Forum on Cantonese Linguistics (FoCaL-5)

 The talk is at 10am Saturday, 4 June (Hong Kong time!!!):

邊啲人[naːn23]啲? (n-/l-) in Cantonese in Hong Kong and Toronto

This will present some further developments since the talk at WICL last weekend.

Here is Justin, happy to have finished that talk:

 

 

Two other WICL talks also reported on findings from the HLVC Project:

 

Katrina Kechun Li, Christopher Bryant & Li Nguyen (University of Cambridge)

Tonal aspects of Cantonese-English code-switching in HLVC corpus

and 

Holman Tse (Asst. Professor at St. Catherine University, previously a visiting student in our Department):

Is there cross-linguistic influence of English /u/ on Toronto Cantonese high round vowels? 

(Sorry, not good shots of Holman, but here's his slides.)
